Volunteering in the hostel felt like that: Pure life. There is no words that can describe how the experience nurtures you as a person but once you meet the host, Felipe, you understand why the hostel feels like home right away. He is extremely respectful of people's time and makes it a priority that everybody is having a good time, and trust me everybody is. From the guests to the staff and volunteers, everyone is always down for adventure and fun. It feels like everybody that sets foot on the hostel gets in the genuine good energy of living life to the fullest. Definately the best 1st volunteer

I really enjoyed my time in the hostel! Felipe and the staff were very welcoming and I knew that I could always come to Felipe if I ever had a problem or needed something. the hostel is a very social hostel and I immediately got included in everything. My work hours were always very clear. I always got my schedule a week I advance and never worked longer than stated. After work I always had enough time to go out and do something or just rest and hang around the hostel until the evening.

The best experience I've ever had! When I arrived, I was well taken care of and shared a room with other volunteers. I always got good hours and my days off were respected in the four weeks that followed. The work was exactly as they had described it, and it was not difficult. The other members of staff and volunteers were extremely helpful and friendly. I had the opportunity to explore the city and participate in various tours offered by the hostel. I wish I could have stayed a little longer. I'd like to thank everyone who helped make this month memorable. <3

At the hostel, I had an amazing experience. I had a variety of tasks as a cleaner, including cleaning the shared kitchen and the rooms. It was pleasant work, and if you have any questions, you can always get in touch with the staff. The people, though, made my visit the greatest! You'll feel right at home with the other WPs, the travelers and the staff (especially Felipe!). You can also take part in a multitude of activities! Unfortunately, I had to leave earlier because I wasn't feeling well physically, but I will surely return! Thus, I advise everyone to da work exchange at this hostel!

My time at the hostel was unforgettable! A special thanks to Felipe, Victor, Michelle, Sergio and Atlas for helping me settle in and making the hostel feel like home during my time here. Felipe is a class host. He is extremely approachable and does all he can to ensure the Worldpackers are happy. During my stay here, I met some wonderful human beings. Whether that was staff, volunteers or just other travellers. I feel very lucky to have met such kindhearted people and they were part of the reason I had such a terrific time here. Don't think twice about volunteering here! Value Papai the hostel!

This was my second experience in PuraVida as a volunteer, and this time was during the Carnival period, so high season. In the limpeza (housekeeping) work the hotness in the morning can be your enemy for the first days, but everything is well organized and the staff and Felipe are always comprehensive. Obviously, staying in PuraVida, you can enjoy the parties even better, meeting new people there, following the schedule of the hostel, which always has something fun for you. People who works with you are generally open minded and funny, so it's very easy to make a group! Recommended 😎😎

I really enjoyed My stay at the hostel. i thought the manager Felipe was an excellent host and super friendly, i appreciated him a lot. the hostel itself is pretty cool and is safe. There are always events on and the rest of the volunteer staff is lovely. i was there 6 weeks, which felt like a long time (especially being a shared dorm) so towards the end,my social battery was pretty drained.

First I want to start by saying thank you Felipe & the hostel!!! This truly felt like a dream and at times, the people and the vibes here are unmatched and it's going to be hard trying to find that again. Now, about the work I was part of the cleaning staff and all the work is do-able just know that some days you will be tired but you exactly work 25 hours a week - not a minute more & not a minute less. If you do work more just let Felipe know and it'll get fixed (that I really appreciate). Overall, my stay here was great and I will be back!!! Once again, thank you the hostel/Brasil. MUITO BOM!
